A bit surprising that Daniel wasn't chosen, I think most expected him. Not surprising that Sofia wasn't chosen, good thing, but if she had we'd know that Madde was forced to. Louise Gottlieb's newly minted husband (Thott) made the cut though. I was wondering whether Madde would try to have Emma Pernald as Godmother again, but I guess not..

NEVER *despise* correction,for those who correct you ,truly LOVE you .They are willing to displease you and possibly lose your friendship ,rather than see you destroyed. Those who *despise* you ,on the other hand ,will allow you to FAIL...because what do they care ?

First time I've ever read that Queen Silivia was was a flight attenddant.!

Among the first posts in the comments section is someone named Kittiwicks of Eastbourne, wondering how anyone could call Madeleine beautiful andclaiming the Duchess of Cambridge could knock spots off her. I wonder which member of a certain family wrote that?

^^ We can have a good guess can´t we Council cath is very masculine looking, no comparison with Princess Madeleine at all, not even in the same league. Madeleine is royal, council cath is there by default because of lazy bill. Council cath could not knock the spots off anyone, she was a commoner and still is really, and the council house background of her family shows through in every way.

Sofia reminds me of murky murkle - hair a mess and trying to hog the limelight all the time, and failing miserably - both unattractive females.

^^ Agreed. Kate could only wish to be or look like Madde. Another league entirely, Madde is very soft & feminine and knows how to conduct herself and always knocks it out of the park. Though Kate looks very nice too when she gains some weight, that would be a good start for her to come even just a smidge closer to Madde's league.

PS ^^ Yeah I just thought Kate as well as Murky are more Sofia's peers than they could even dream to be anywhere near Madde & Vic. Kate, Meg & Sof are gold diggers who take off their clothes at the drop of a hat to get what they want and wouldn't know what class or decorum are even if it hit them in their faces. All 3 did whatever it took to reel in their respective dumb prince. Brains must be in short supply amongst princes, princesses seem to fare better...

^ I thought so too! It was unexpected but very nice! Also featuring Leo & Nic, it was a very nice chronology of the Bernadotte-O'Neill family from wedding, 2 older kids' births & Christenings & other bits & bobs and how they look now to the Christening of the newest addition.

As I always say, the Swedes really know how to do these things!! To share and hook people in!

^ True, I had the same thought but am too lazy to check on the other Christenings. Just before Adrienne's Christening Desirée had a party for her 80th, so they all had several reasons to gather in Stockholm.

I also love the colours and the room where the pics were taken is so fresh and regal at the same time!

^ Yeah absolutely, they all kinda avoided Gabriel's Christening, I just don't know exactly about their attendance rate for all the other kids.. It seems obvious though that all the family (except CP & CG) avoid Sofia. And with good reason. Can't blame them..
